Is that enough bananas to give me radiation poisoning if I eat them all? 🤔

You definitely won't regret eating 800 bananas, no way

I believe you'll die from hyperkalemia well before you'd even get sick from radiation. Even then its basically impossible to get a potassium overdose unless you have major kidney problems

Fun fact most bananas are picked while green and then exposed to Ethylene Gas to ripen quickly! I don't eat bananas any more!

From my research, it doesn't seem like that method is harmful to humans, at least not more than not eating fruits.

Apples and other fruits naturally emit ethylene gas. If you ever stored apple with other fruits,you exposed those fruits to ethylene gas.

Almost enough there to contain as much flavour as a single hand of heirloom bananas.

You would rather eat green bananas or bruised bananas?
Do you even know what ethylene oxide is?

If you don't recognize the potential risks associated with the commercial ripening of bananas, you are free to continue consuming them!

I'm genuinely curious what it is

Because ethylene is produced by fruits during and after ripening. There's no human health risk associated with it (especially since it doesn't stick around inside the fruit)

You’ve already done your research, and that’s fine. I’m not trying to change your opinion. If you’re looking for more detailed explanations, a nutritionist would be a better source than a random Lemmy user. I know anything I say is likely not to change your mind.

It's exactly how fruits ripen.

I have a hard time believing that your concern for my body is genuine. It feels more like a negative remark directed toward my previous statement rather than a sincere expression of concern. I don’t think you’re fooling anyone with that approach.
